"Mmm..." Helen Mmmed in Julie's ear. "I promise you a lot more than the one next time."
"Then stop getting stabbed and caught up in psychos' power games so we can."
"I'll avoid the stabbing. The power games kind of come with the job."
"Then you remember that we're here to help; because Ohana means Family, you fucking cunt."
"And Family means no skanky cow gets left behind."
Julie stepped out onto the front porch to wave to Mander and Bluey, who were getting in the limo. Troy stepped up, wrapped his arms around her, picked her up and set her down, then hugged her.
"Julie already gave you the whole 'family' speech, I know." Troy told her.
"Yeah. So, you're going to have to come up with something else wise or deep now."
Troy thought a moment.
"Maybe you didn't notice, Helen; but at some point, you stopped 'visiting' and started 'being home.' You know where your key is, you know the alarm code. There is ALWAYS some place for Helen to run."
"You've seen the sort of thing I'd be running from, now. The kind of thing that nobody else stands against. Despite what I tell Maria, there's a LOT more to this job than ordering people around and looking beautiful for the cameras. I try to do it your way, or Propappou's way, or Vincenzo's way. A lot of these fucks give me no choice but to do it my way. It's too much for a 22-year-old to handle; too much to just dump on Maria."
"It was too much for another 22-year-old, too." Troy said, kissing her. "Often times, it still seems too much for a 28-year-old."
"It CAN be a pretty lonely job." Helen said to him with pleading eyes.
Troy's answer was to kiss her again and whisper in her ear.
"Have Maisson text me."
She nodded, and Troy went to join Julie outside.
Susan was the last to approach her. They stood in silence and smiled at each other awkwardly before Helen stepped forward and hugged Susan. She returned it.
"I love..." Susan whispered in Helen's ear. "When you Don't Die."
"Don't you do it either, and I'll try to keep it up for you."
A small kiss and they broke the embrace.
Mander and Bluey were still waving to Troy and Julie when Helen and Susan emerged. Helen walked toward the limo. Bluey got in, Mander staying behind to hold the door for La Contessa. She walked up the driveway, onto the street, and stopped at the door. Helen waved sadly to the three people and the place that she called "home, the local one," before going back to the bigger one with different people whom she loved. She stepped in the limo and Mander waved to them one last time before getting in himself and closing the door.
